Teutenberg (HTC Columbia) dominated the final sprint to win her fourth title
and makes it 22 wins this season.
Teutenberg was
almost caught out by Shelly Evans (Peanut Butter & Co. Twenty 12) in the
final 300m but used her considerable power and experience to reel Evans in
20m before the line. Theresa Cliff-Ryan (Colavita/Baci
Pro Cycling Team) held on for third.
With four steep
climbs up the gruelling Manayunk Wall, Teutenberg's
teammates controlled a full day of attacks by the other teams who wished to
prevent the race ending in a sprint, to lead their sprinter to her fourth
victory in this race. On the final assent of the Manayunk Wall a group of 22
riders managed to get away that included three HTC Columbia riders. Tibco
had four riders including Brooke Miller and Australia's National Road Race
champion, Ruth Corset (Team Tibco) who showed class on the climbs,
dominating the points competition over the 8 climbs, 4 over the Manayunk
Wall and 4 over Lemon St.
Incredibly,
Jennie Longo (Team
Colleen p/b Summit Velo) showed at 52, that she's still got what it takes to
compete with the younger women. Longo was second overall in the Mountain
points and made it into the breakaway group to finish 15th overall.

Race Comments
Ina-Yoko
Teutenberg (HTC Columbia) could not have been happier to secure her 4th win
at the Liberty Classic. "It was really hot today but other than
that it was very similar to last year really," said Teutenberg.
"There were a lot of attacks but my teammates did a great job to
control the race and keep it together for a sprint.
"Evie
[Stevens] was always there on the Manyunk Wall to cover the attacks and Kim
[Anderson], Linda [Villumsen] and Emilia [Fahlin] did a great job covering
everything else. People attacked constantly and on the last lap I was
expecting them to really hammer up the climb but I think by that stage they
were all a bit tired because of the heat. I started to feel sorry for the
guys having to race for another four hours or so.
Coming
into the last lap Erinne Willock from Webcor was still ahead of the field
and HTC-Columbia steadily reeled her in and were ready to cover attacks on
the way back to town. Finally they set Teutenberg up for the sprint with a
great lead out around the final roundabout.
"In
the end I only just won the sprint as Shelly [Evans] made a very well timed
attack on the finishing straight and it took me until 15 meters to go to
catch her.
"I'm
really happy to win here again. It's one of my favourite races and I look
forward to coming her every year."
